I'm currently in the building process with Burbank, we are building the Sapphire. We are in the bricking process. I too, have approached and asked for some Post contract variations (I am wanting to add some additional overhead cupboards to the kitchen). They very bluntly refused. That is correct, no where in the contract is it specified: no variations upon construction commencement. I have escalated the issue to managment. We'll see what happens. Re: Building with Burbank... 20Mar 23, 2009 7:01 pm Just got back from our colour appointment today. It takes 6 hours! We are building a Forrester 4300, with a few modifications (study into 5th bedroom, flooring both the voids, laundry chute etc). The visualiser was pretty handy. Our first choice of bricks was fine (there are options for two contrasting types in the different areas of the facade) but when we saw them next to the first colour we had chosen for the garage surround, it suddenly didn't look so good. You have to keep your budget in mind every step of the way: the range of options in the basic Category 1 things is a little limited, and it costs extra to change up. But overall, we had fun. The lady taking us through the choices has the patience of a saint- with about forty different types of brick to choose from, it can be daunting making up your mind, and that's just the front of the place! We haven't had any problems so far, things seem to be moving along nicely. Getting the survey and soil testing was the slowest: the surveyors shut down over Christmas, and then we had the heatwave that kept them away. We're demolishing our old place, so I expect the hardest yards are yet to be done; but no complaints at all so far, Burbank have been really helpful.
